Luxury jewelry maker Cartier<\/a> isn\u2019t known for giving stuff away, but in the case of one Mexican man, they pretty much did.<\/p>\n

Rogelio Villarreal was paging through Cartier\u2019s web page in a moment of idleness when he came upon on offer that seemed too good to be true. “I broke out in a cold sweat,” he wrote on his account on X, formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n

CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION SEIZES $90M IN COUNTERFEIT JEWELRY, CARTIER BRACELETS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Cartier apparently had made a mistake and listed gold-and-diamond earrings for 237 pesos ($14), instead of the correct price, 237,000 pesos ($14,000). Villarreal ordered two sets.<\/p>\n

What followed was months of back and forth during which he says Cartier offered him a consolation prize instead of the jewelry, and during which Mexican officials<\/a> backed his position that the company should honor the advertised price.<\/p>\n

Villarreal finally got the earrings last week, at his price, and he posted a video online of himself unboxing the merchandise. But he soon grew tired of the public attention \u2014 finding not all that glitters is gold \u2014 and on Monday posted, “Alright already, talk about something else, I\u2019m tired of the earrings being the only thing anyone knows about my personality.”<\/p>\n

Villarreal\u2019s case had become a lightening rod online during an especially polarized time in Mexico ahead of its June 2 presidential elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some observers criticized Villarreal for taking advantage of what they saw as an honest mistake by the top-end jewelry company. Some claimed he should give the earrings back, or pay taxes on them. Some called him a thief.<\/p>\n

Villarreal, a doctor doing his medical residency, said he had to fight for months to get the company to actually deliver and claimed that it offered to send him a bottle of champagne instead.<\/p>\n

The company did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

“I have the worst luck in the world and I\u2019ve never made any money, and what I have is because I bought it,” Villarreal wrote in his social media accounts. But now, he was been able to buy two $14,000 sets of earrings for only about $28.<\/p>\n

He says he gave one of them to his mother.<\/p>\n

“It feels great and it\u2019s cool not to be the underdog for once in my life,” Villarreal wrote.<\/p>\n

Jes\u00fas Monta\u00f1o, the spokesman for Mexico\u2019s consumer protection agency, known as Profeco, confirmed Villarreal\u2019s account of his struggle.<\/p>\n

“He filed a complaint in December,” Monta\u00f1o said. “There is a conciliation hearing scheduled for May 3, but the consumer already received his purchase.”<\/p>\n

Asked about the ethics of it all, Monta\u00f1o said companies “have to respect the published price.” If there’s a mistake, “it\u2019s not the consumer\u2019s fault.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
